hmm, is there any mipi-dsi master framework that it can use commonly
in linux kernel? my driver is dependent on platform a little because
lcd panel driver should include two header files.

Ok, below is example code to mipi-dsi based lcd panel driver.
#include <plat/regs-dsim.h>
#include <plat/dsim.h>
static struct mipi_lcd_driver xxx_mipi_driver = {
.name = "xxx",
.init = xxx_init,
.display_on = xxx_displsy_on,
.set_link = xxx_set_link,
.probe = xxx_probe,
.suspend = xxx_suspend,
.resume = xxx_resume,
};
static int xxx_init(void)
{
s5p_dsim_register_lcd_driver(&xxx_mipi_driver);
return 0;
}
static void xxx_exit(void)
{
return;
}
module_init(xxx_init);
module_exit(xxx_exit);
at module_init, xxx_mipi_driver would be registered to mipi master
driver through
s5p_dsim_register_lcd_driver func and when master driver is probed, xxx_probe
would be called by probe func of master driver.
I wonder there is mipi-dsi master driver indenpendent on platform
fully in linux kernel.
if exsiting, I will use it as master driver. of course, the part
dependent on platform
would be implemented using that framework.
Thank you.
